radial profile ("r") and aperture photometry ("a") failing, but "j" and "k" work

[janerigby]

I am attempting to measure the PSF from stars in an HST WFC3-IR F160W image. For recordkeeping, the image is V4.0_PSZ1G311.65-18.48_F160W_0.03g0.8_cr4.0_0.7_drz_sci.fits (Please email me and I can send it privately.)

I am getting an error when doing aperture photometry ("a"), and non-sensical answers for radial profile ("r"), as follows:

1. Using "j" makes a nice fit with FWHM=6.4 pix

2. Using "k" makes a nice fit with FWHM=6.2 pix

3. sing "r" makes a fit that looks good: by eye the fwhm is a few pixels, but the fit reports a FWHM=17 pix, which is just ridiculous. I have screenshots I can send; I don't see how to attach them here.

4. Trying to run aperture photometry ("a") fails with the error below.

Please advise. I can send the fits image and the screenshots. Best, Jane

cross-referencing with #165, doh. working on the fix.

I got iraf's imexam working remotely on a linux box, and verified that the running "r" on the V4.0 F160W file produces a FWHM of 4.6 pixel, which is sensible.
This is consistent with the behavior seen by others in issue #165
